Hello Karl
I am an adviser at Family Rights Group. We advise families in touch with Children’s Services.
Obviously a few days have passed since your post so I’m not sure if the child protection conference regarding your daughter has taken place already?
What you have described RE: your report to the conference sounds really clear and appropriate. It is always a good idea to keep things as clear as concise as possible with bullet points etc.
Regarding format, I would simply advise that you start with a brief opening paragraph highlighting that your daughter is your priority in the situation and that you want to work co-operatively and in partnership with professionals (and your ex partner if you feel you can say this) for her best interests.
Emphasise that you are raising the following issues only out of concern for your daughter’s welfare in order to plan the best way forward for her.
Hope this helps.
Do come back to us as your situation develops or call our free, confidential advice line if you would like (0808 801 0366).
Best Wishes
